Be honest with yourself

Somewhere along the way, something changed.

It didn't happen all at once. It crept in, one year at a time. Maybe you've noticed some of this:

The weights you used to warm up with now feel heavy.

Your shirts fit tighter around the waist and looser around the arms.

You get down on the floor to play with your kids, and getting back up is the hard part.

On the ice or on the field, you're a step behind guys you used to beat.

One hard workout costs you three days of stiffness and a sore back.

You've tried programs online. They were built for 22-year-olds with nothing but time.

None of this means you're getting old. It means your training hasn't caught up with who you are now.

The cost of waiting

After 40, muscle doesn't stay by accident.

Every year you train the wrong way, or not at all, the gap gets harder to close. Strength fades quietly. Then one day you skip the game, you sit out the hike, you tell your kid “maybe next time.”

That's not the dad you want to be. And it's not the man you are.

Here's the good news: men in their 40s and 50s can still build muscle and get stronger. They just need a plan built for their body, not someone else's.

Now picture this instead

The strongest version of you is still ahead.

  • 01Chasing your kids around the yard, and being the one who doesn't want to stop.
  • 02Stepping on the ice or the field and feeling like yourself again: fast, strong and confident.
  • 03Lifting heavy again, with your back, knees and shoulders on your side.
  • 04Catching your reflection and recognizing the guy looking back.
  • 05Showing your kids that strength doesn't come with an expiry date.

The coaching

Built for the man you are today.

Not a template. Not a program for a 22-year-old. A plan that starts with who you are and where you want to go.

01

Built for how you're wired

Using the Neurotyping system Christian created, your training is matched to how your body and nervous system respond. No more wasting effort on what doesn't work for you.

02

Built around your real life

Your job, your family, your recovery and your training history are part of the plan, not obstacles to it.

03

Christian's eyes on you

This is coaching with Christian himself. Your progress is reviewed and your plan evolves as you do, so you keep moving forward.

Is this for you?

Christian only works with men who are ready.

This is for you if

  • You're a man between 35 and 55 who wants to build muscle and hold on to his strength
  • You want to keep up with your kids, and keep playing the sport you love
  • You're tired of guessing and want a world-class expert in your corner
  • You're ready to follow a plan and be coached

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for a quick fix or a 30-day shortcut
  • You want a generic PDF program you can download and forget
  • You're not willing to put in consistent work

Questions

Before you apply

I'm over 45. Is it too late to build muscle?

No. Men in their 40s and 50s can still build muscle and strength with the right training. What changes is how you need to train, and that's exactly what Christian's coaching is built around.

I have old injuries or nagging pain. Can I still apply?

Yes. Tell us about it in your application so your history can be taken into account when your plan is built. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before starting a new training program.

I'm busy with work and family. Will I have time?

Your plan is built around the time you actually have, not the schedule of a full-time athlete.

Is this really coaching with Christian himself?

Yes. This is Christian Thibaudeau's personal online coaching, which is exactly why the number of spots is limited.

Why do I have to apply?

Christian only works with people he's confident he can help. The application lets us make sure coaching is the right fit before anyone commits.

What happens after I apply?

Your application is reviewed and, if you're a fit, a member of our team will contact you by phone or email with the next steps.
